Sumba Ikat Lumbar Pillow Cover No. 13 - French Blue & Red

BrunnaCo works with artisans across Indonesia - in Bali, Java, and on the island of Sumba - many of them women weaving from home. Each piece is made by hand using skills passed down through generations of weavers and dyers.

The idea is simple: create good work for women in places where it is hard to come by, and keep traditional weaving and textile crafts alive. Because everything is handmade, small variations from piece to piece are normal - the mark of a real maker rather than a machine. Every purchase supports those artisans and their communities.

Q: What makes ikat weaving special compared to other textile techniques?
A: Ikat involves dyeing the threads before weaving them together, creating patterns that have a distinctive slightly blurred edge and depth that can only be achieved through this traditional hand-loom process.

Q: How do I know this pillow will fit my decor style?
A: The naturally-dyed blue and red stripes work beautifully with coastal, bohemian, eclectic, and global-inspired decor, while the handcrafted quality adds authentic character to any space.

Q: Will the natural dyes fade over time?
A: Hand wash or dry cleaning as recommended helps preserve the natural dyes, and the rich blues and reds are designed to develop a beautiful patina that adds to the pillow's character.

Q: What is the texture like compared to machine-made pillows?
A: Hand-loomed ikat fabric has a distinctive texture with slight irregularities that reflect the human hands behind each piece, creating visual and tactile interest that mass-produced pillows cannot match.

A: This pillow is designed for indoor use in sunrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms where it can be protected from direct weather exposure while still bringing that tropical coastal feeling.

Q: How does purchasing this pillow support the artisan community?
